Xuanweisi in Western Sichuan is a high mountainous area in southwest Sichuan. There are also many tribes in the area, but they are basically tribes that have been naturalized for more than a hundred years. The situation is not as complicated as Songfanwei.
The Ming Dynasty gave the chieftains of these tribes large and small hereditary positions, but in fact they have long been empty titles, without any restraint on the tribesmen and tribes. The real power is in the hands of the various ministers.
In fact, it has become a county.
In terms of government affairs, the various departments of various tribes, large and small, obeyed the orders of the governor's office, which in turn took orders from the Sichuan Chief Envoy. However, because of their special status, the guard eunuchs also had the power to directly submit memorials to the emperor, so they were inferior to those at the same level.
The status of the prefecture is slightly higher.
Of course, although the status is slightly higher, the Xuanwei Division in Western Sichuan is really a miserable place and not interesting. If Luo Dianzao still serves as the chief clerk of a certain company after passing there, and his grade remains the same as the eighth grade, Zhao Ran will think about it
Way to stop it.
If you have worked hard for yourself for several years, but in the end you are not reaping the benefits, this will seriously dampen the enthusiasm of your subordinates.
But I heard Yuan Hao say: "Go to Xiugang Division and serve as Sicheng."
"From the seventh grade?"
"Yes, after being promoted to one level, I can be considered as able to govern a county. However, Xiugang is too poor. I'm afraid there are less than 10,000 people. Last year's credibility was worth 53,000 guine."
"Did the Governor's Office recommend it?"
"It was a person who was requested by the Xuanweisi Governor's Office. The letter was sent to the Governor's Office. Governor Xia saw that it was for Luo Dian to be promoted, so he was released."
In the White Horse Courtyard, the Dian Zao Room, the warehouse, the accounting room, and the number room were assigned by the Governor-General's Office of Western Sichuan. They belonged to the government, so all relocation matters were handled by the Governor-General's Office. Luo Dianzao went to Xiugang
After Si became Sicheng, he returned to the official line and continued his official career.
"Why did the governor's office fall in love with Lao Luo? Is our White Horse Courtyard so famous now?"
"This is the abbot's ability. Baimayuan has become very famous in Sichuan Province recently. The abbot must not underestimate himself."
"Haha, well, if you become famous, you will be poached. You said that it is not worth it to be famous. You said that in such a poor place... Is Lao Lu willing? If he doesn't want to go, let him follow me
Said, I'll go find Governor Xia."
"Lao Luo thought for a day and decided to go there. After all, he has graduated from the seventh rank and is in charge of the government..."
Zhao Ran nodded and sighed: "I understand, I understand. If you want to leave, it's a good thing. We can't block other people's progress, otherwise Lao Luo will pick up a knife and fight us desperately."
"
Yuan Hao said: "Abbott is joking... However, Lao Luo is a good person in our Taoist temple. To be honest, I feel very sad to let him go like this. Lao Luo also said that if the abbot lets him stay, he will still
He will stay. What does the abbot think?"
If Zhao Ran asked Luo Dianzao to stay, then he would definitely be responsible for it. Luo Dianzao's promotion must be considered next. But now the chief chef of the White Horse Courtyard is Lei Shan, and Lei Shan's promotion to Zhao Ran
It is difficult to intervene for the time being, and Zhao Ran does not want Lei Shan, who is young, strong and courageous to take on the task, to leave. The post of chef will not be vacant, so there is no way to promote Luo Dianzao.
Of course, there is another way to promote Luo Dianzao, which is to break the boundary between the Taoist sect and the government. Anyway, Luo Dianzao had to receive a Taoist certificate when he entered Baimayuan.
, they all talk about this path.
However, it is not easy to take this road. Even though Gu Tengfeng and Li Zhining are both in their seats, there is still no room for them. What's more, there is Lu Zhike before him, and the left patrol officer is lining up. Neither credit nor qualifications are his for the time being.
Therefore, Zhao Ran didn't dare to keep people around easily. He could only say: "Let's go, let's go. This is a good thing. We have to provide convenience for his promotion. I'm afraid that he won't be able to get ahead when he gets there and will stay rooted in Xiugang Division for the rest of his life." , that would be painful.”
Yuan Hao said: "He also knows the dangers involved, but he still doesn't want to give up this opportunity. He plans to give it a try."
Zhao Ran said: "Well, let's hold a practice banquet in the next few days to practice for Lao Luo."
The practice banquet organized for Luo Dian was placed in the restaurant opened by Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen came out with a smile, walked around in a circle, said hello, and ordered the waiter to pass the dishes quickly.
The Taoist priests in Baima Yuan all knew that Mr. Shen was a good friend of Abbot Zhao, and there were rumors that he was a highly practiced casual cultivator. They were all very polite and respectful to him.
After the banquet started, Zhao Ran raised his glass and took the lead in toasting to Luo Dianzao. Zhao Ran was very familiar with this routine of casual speeches. There are probably two common routines, "past, present and future", or "thank you, hope and "Blessings", basically in 99% of cases, this method can be used directly. If you are caught off guard and speak, you can stay safe and worry-free and never make a fool of yourself.
Zhao Ran chose the second routine. In front of all the Taoist priests in the courtyard, he thanked Luo Diianzao for his hard work and dedication to the White Horse Academy over the past few years. He hoped that Luo Dianzao would use the experience and knowledge he had learned in the White Horse Academy. The methods are brought to Xiugang to further increase Xiugang's credibility, and I wish Luo Dianzao to achieve new and greater achievements in his new role.
Zhao Ran spoke highly of Luo Diianzao, and his words were very sincere. After speaking, Luo Diianzao's eyes turned red, and he said emotionally: "I have been following the abbot in Baima Courtyard for the past few years. Although I have been busy, I have been fulfilled. Although It's hard work, but it's rewarding. When I go to Xiugang, I will follow the abbot's teachings, work hard to increase the credibility of the Taoist sect, insist on improving people's livelihood, and never embarrass our colleagues in Baimayuan."
After Zhao Ran, Yuan Hao of the Supervisor, Gu Tengfeng, Li Zhining, and Lei Shan, the chef of the capital, stood up one after another to toast Luo Dianzao and say goodbye, followed by Lu Zhike, Zuo Xunzhao, the eight deacons headed by Dong Gaogong, the five masters and the eighteen chiefs. .
After a few laps, Luo Dianzao fell drunk on the spot, hugging a few familiar comrades and crying loudly.
Zhao Ran sighed, feeling equally sad. It was not that he didn't know Luo Dianzao's intentions, but in fact Luo Dianzao himself also understood that if he wanted to get ahead in the White Horse Courtyard, there were several people lined up in front of him. Everyone did equally well here. Of course, in this case, the only choice is to rank according to seniority. If Luo Dianzao is forcibly ranked first in promotion in order to retain him, what will the others do? Perhaps, this is why Luo Dianzao made the decision to leave after thinking about it for a day. Let’s decide why.
Yuan Hao came to Zhao Ran and asked in a low voice: "Who will take care of the building? Is the abbot successful?"
Zhao Ran said: "This is still based on your opinion. Do you have any candidates?"
Yuan Hao said: "Everything is still based on the abbot's plan. Does the abbot have anyone he likes?"
Zhao Ran asked: "What did the Governor's Mansion say?"
Yuan Hao said: "Xia Du asked his subordinates to seek the abbot's opinion."
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Ran said: "Director Xia is too polite... No rush, let's think about it together."
